This Sport Psych book was great. I minored in Sport and Exercise Psychology in undergraduate school and this book had a lot of useful information in it. My professor was great at teaching but the book was a good supplement. The diagrams and tables are easy to understand in this book and help piece the information together. This book covers a lot of different areas and I found them very useful.

I use this text in an on-line undergraduate sport psychology course. Cox does a very good job of presenting research and application aspects of sport and exercise psychology. Students enjoy this easy-to-read text.
